CITIZENSHIP AND TERRORISM
UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES
A discussion paper
by Tony Ryan
Many Australians, including defense force veterans, hold the view that Australian soldiers should not be fighting in the Middle East in the first place. We are there as US/Israel foreign policy sycophants, not because any Iraqi or Afghan has ever threatened to invade Australia.
Second, our primary ally, the US, has actually been found guilty of state terrorism by the United Nations, so the term does becomes a little awkward. Only the 28 NATO nations and Israel, plus a sprinkling of US-bribed Pacific allies, continue to support American foreign policies. Moreover, although their governments provide support, an overwhelming majority of the populations disagree with their politicians; a situation which conflicts with claimed aspirations of democracy.
Third, today's terrorist is tomorrow's ally. Adopting the US terrorist list verbatim is an exercise in ignorance and folly. The list changes almost daily.
Taking Syria as an example, it is only a year since the Australian Government (lip-syncing US leaders) was loudly declaring its support for the Syrian rebels, lauding them as campaigners for decency and democracy... entirely ignoring informed observers who identified the rebels as Sunni extremists, al Qaeda, mercenaries, and other international terrorists, all of whom are implacably opposed to democracy, the west, and all other versions of Islam. And all of these groups have been covertly funded by US agencies, and militarily assisted by UK, France, Germany, and Israel.
As the Sunni sects expanded their conquest territories, it finally dawned on pathologically-interventionist western leaders that they were backing the side that would plunge the entire Middle East into war, with the total loss of western oil interests and access to the rebuilt Suez Canal.
It gets worse: once it was finally understood by western leaders that the key nation with the capacity to maintain peace in the Middle East, and to eliminate the IS/ISIS threat in Iraq and Syria, was Iran; suddenly Iran is no longer a nuclear threat and is now our... ahem... ally. Two years down the track, the landscape once more changes and Iran is now, once again, the enemy. Keeping up with White House politics is, indeed, a fickle pickle.
Israel, of course, still wants to bomb Iran into oblivion, along with Syria and Lebanon.
Meanwhile, Malcolm Turnbull and Julie Bishop refuse to heed the warnings of former Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser, that the alliance with the US, and the presence of US troops on Australian soil, will drag Australia into an increasingly likely WWIII, yet with no possible benefit to us.
As Fraser pointed out, the US is a notoriously unreliable ally and, in fact, sided with Indonesia against Australia during the 1975 confrontation. Later, in 1983, the tri-nation exploration and mapping of the Arafura and Timor Sea floors resulted in the data being shared between the US and Indonesia, leaving Australia out in the cold; although we paid our way and Indonesia did not.
America is manifestly not on our side.
If we are guided by the Cold War (Mach I) experience and our subsequent knowledge of Russia's then first ten nuclear strikes, we can take for granted that China has at least eight first strike ICBM targets in Australia, all of these American bases. Three of these are in Darwin; seven in the NT:
Ergo, our greatest threat to peace is the aggressive American presence in this country and in the South China Sea.
That Israel controls the entirety of Australian media and most think tanks, viz a viz Zionists Rupert Murdoch and Frank Lowy, heightens these risks because ordinary Australians and politicians alike are denied knowledge of real geopolitical events. For example, when the US bought its way into governing Ukraine, at a cost of $5 billion, this was never mentioned by our politicians or journalists, leaving us with the impression that Russia was invading a democratically elected nation.

- (1 Echelon in Shoal Bay, 2 the spy and navigation satellite base at Middle Point; and 3 Darwin airport),
- 4 One in Katherine (Tindal air base),
- 5 One in Pine Gap, and,
- 6 Soon, the US military ICBM launching pad in Arnhem Land (officially a civilian aerospace facility); and
- 7 The future US Asia/South Pacific Navy base in Melville Bay; forty Ks down the road from the rocket base.
Ergo, our greatest threat to peace is the aggressive American presence in this country and in the South China Sea.

- That this was a civil war caused entirely by the US, and on Russia's borders, dramatically alters the dynamic of the US/Russia confrontation.
- That Putin is by far the most popular politician in Russia (70% to 80% electoral support), and most popular national leader around the world, is not a view most Australians have had access to unless they gain their information and news from the internet.
- That our politicians and commentators described the Crimean referendum as illegal, in spite of this being the only exercise in democracy to occur in that region, reveals just how anti-democracy are politicians and media in Australia.
